The full pathname of a JDK installation for Oracle SQL Developer

Question

I want to run Oracle SQL Devloper on Ubuntu with this command:

sh sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper.sh

Then I got this message:

Answer 1

I had a similar issue and solved it by simply adding 'SetSkipJ2SDKCheck true' to one of the below files.

/home/abc/.sqldeveloper/4.1.5/product.conf
/opt/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/sqldeveloper.conf

Answer 2

Just insert below one into ~/.sqldeveloper/4.0.0/product.conf file.

SetJavaHome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/

Answer 3

Just solved this by not adding slash as you did, so instead of

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/

type

/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386

Answer 4

Just type /usr/java/default and hit Enter if you use Oracle's JDK.

Answer 5

 apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
 apt-get install openjdk-7-jre
 apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk
 apt-get install openjdk-7-jdk
 add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
 apt-get update
 apt-get install oracle-java7-installer 

Answer 6

I Agree with szabozoltan's answer but there should be some explanation required for this:

SetJavaHome /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/

This one we need to keep in product.conf file. Inorder to open that file we need to type following command:

sudo gedit /home/abc/.sqldeveloper/4.0.0/product.conf

After this, type the following command.

./sqldeveloper.sh

That's it, your SQL Developer will be opened.
